This poult is 4 days old. He has been acting like a normal happy turkey. He eats and drinks just fine. I came home from my sister’s house today after spending the night and he has completely changed. I don’t even know how to describe what’s going. He’s acting normal yet at the same time he had his head drooped down, almost like it’s stuck. He’s walking funny and walks backwards since because I’m sure he’s very confused and can’t see correctly. I am attaching a video and picture of him below. I don’t know what else to say because this is very confusing. All I can think is that he got injured somehow maybe, I have no idea. Someone please give me your thoughts!

I have no idea what to do for him but I really want to help. He’s the prettiest poult I’ve had, he gets it from his bourbon red dad:)

Looks sort of like Wry neck.
 
How's your poultry doing?
He’s still acting okay. Been giving him some vitamin E from gel tablets and some poultry cell. Some days he can hold his head up a bit higher but some days it’s back to how it use to be. I know wry neck can take a while heal, but so far he’s doing good!
